real short

This will be short and probably have lots of typing errors because the keyboard is bad and making my poor fingers hurt and it is hard to find things like punctuation and sometimes when i know where they are i still cant figure out how to make them show up on the screen. But im getting better at this. just in case you are curious, the rteal trick with two finger typing is that you have to use both hands on both sides not just use the right for what you would only use the right for if you were using all your fingers.
My new site is such an incredible improvement. i mean, dont get me wrong its frustrating and i had to come to town today because i was going crazy, but i am looking forward to going back to site and working there. I am hoping to work with children to help them start a youth garden. Im really excited about it and they are really excited about it, but right now we are struggling with finding a space. my one young boy said, really? youll help me grow onions? ive never seen a teenage boy so excited about growing onions.Dont tell them, because they just want a garden of their own that theirmothers dont control, but i have an ulterior motive to show them how much they can really do if they want. my new town is highly educated and fairly well to do - these will be the leaders of tomorrows Mali if they decide that they want to stay in Mali instead of leave and go someplace else.
i promise to put out a really good post within the next two months - I might come back to town next week, or maybe the second week of January, but then we have training and it is going to be crasy.
